1. Discuss how evidence based practice is used to support client interventions in this setting.
At the VA clinic, evidence-based research is important to support the treatment techniques we use for our veterans. We are currently using the emWave Biofeedback program to treat our veterans with PTSD/TBI/MDD. Many of our veterans that are diagnosed with mTBI/PTSD are anxious and stressed, especially amongst crowds. With the emWave biofeedback program, it coaches veterans to control their breathing, therefore decreasing their hear rate and achieving a "high coherence". This program provides real time objective numbers for the veterans too see that by controlling their breathing rate they are able to relax.
2. In APA format, list one article you used to support evidence based practice.
